Trust me, if the NRA was the problem, you would know about it. If legal gun owners were the problem, you would know about it.

No, we are not the problem. Islamic jihadists are the problem.
Alicia Powe reports that we are living in dangerous times. The single deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 has happened. Radical jihadists are here.

Omar Mateen was investigated twice by the FBI and was on the government terrorist watch list for 10 months before being removed. Even if had he remained on that listing, it wouldn’t have stopped him from buying the firearms he used in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats are hoping to use these facts to curb our Second Amendment rights while they should be focused on protecting Americans and letting them defend themselves.
Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Piro is calling on all American’s to arm themselves in light of the Orlando shooting rampage. Citizens’ rights should be curtailed, Judge Piro says, if they are on the suspected terrorist watch list.
From Fox News Insider:
It’s real simple. You don’t like America. You want to cheer as the World Trade Center comes down. You want to meet with a known suicide bomber?
Ok – then you’ve given up your rights at the altar of American freedom.

If there is a terror investigation on any level – you lose your right to fly, your right to buy a gun and your right to privacy.
Any rights you had take a back seat to our national security. If you’re on a no-fly list, a terror watch list, if you’re under a terror investigation – you have no Second Amendment right, you cannot buy a gun and you cannot fly on a plane. Period.
We cannot allow you to do this to us again. And we will not allow you to use our Constitution as a shield while you put our loved ones, our neighbors and our nation in danger or worse.

I don’t want to hear there’s nothing the FBI could have done differently, especially when they keep telling us more terror attacks are coming.
So you just sit back and say we couldn’t stop it?Come up with some ideas, Jim. Like matching a no-fly list, a terror watch list, with the purchase of a gun. How tough is that?
We don’t want to hear this nonsense that to do so might alert a terrorist and harm an investigation. Hell, the FBI visited Mateen three times. You don’t think he knew he was being watched?

And what’s with this nonsense that words like Sharia and jihad are scrubbed from the FBI’s lexicon and intelligence reports? You guys are so hogtied you don’t have the ability to even think logically anymore.

And for the rest of us, I’ve told you this before – after San Bernardino. Take a look:
I’m telling you this again. Get a gun. Because this government ain’t in a position to help.
In order to confront the enemy, you must know who the enemy is. Our Commander- in-Chief won’t even call Omar Mateen and his ilk what they are, Islamic terrorists.
He instead insists we not vilify all Muslims based on the actions of a few, while he without hesitation vilifies all gun owners and tries to take away our right to protect ourselves based on the actions of a few.
Liberals have proved that they cannot be trusted, so we may as well trust in our firearms. Jihadists are not going to stop. It’s time to start fighting for the survival of this country and our way of life.
